TALk ABOUT FAIR.
A. h. SUNNY, ~ q member OF the com.
mittee on fair, appointed At q former meeting,
reported that the committee had been unable
to procure suitable grounds in or near this
city; but that at Lititz suitable grounds may
bs had. The people OF Liti,z have already
organized fair association and will issue
stock N $50 per share; and the fair will go on,
whether this association take hold OF II or
not. lhe organizers OF the LitlE society,
however, are willing that this society shall
either take hold OF the matter in It's own
name or have the privilege OF buying the
stock to the amount OF ten per cent. or indi-
vidual members of the society may have the
same privilege.
ii. X. Fulton, also q member OF the lair

Lititz scheme, and moved the adoption OF
Mr.. Summy's report

that other fairs should be held In different
parts OF the county and he wished them all
possible succes', but he was entirely OPP
posed TO this society's having anything to do
with them ~ a society.
II. NJ. Engle and Calvin Cooper took
similar views they thought the society was
not in condition 20 hold an agricultural fair
but he would have the association give its
hearty support to the project Of fair s'
Lititz or elsewhere.
Henry NJ Engie made motion that THU
